Jennifer Wines, Opening Remarks for Opal's Endowments & Foundations Forum, in Boston

The 24th Annual Endowment and Foundation Forum will provide a forum for fluid exchange of ideas concerning portfolio planning and investment strategies. Rather than focusing on a particular investment style, this conference examines a full range of critical investment topics germane to all Endowments and Foundations. The program will also highlight the need to align fiscal strategy with values and missions.

Participants and delegates will speak on topics including necessity for non-profit governance for endowments, means of capturing alpha in a portfolio, methods of choosing managers, and problems of ethics and liability in fiduciary planning.

With the ever-changing investment landscape, what can you do to ensure resilience and growth? Our program will address the pros and cons of investing in equity, fixed income, alternative, real estate products, and many more. By targeting industry sectors, guest speakers and participants can gain a greater understanding of how organizations can utilize and dovetail with trending investment strategies.
